One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same.

Bringing a young child to work is very different for mothers!

Why are they being so pathetic!?

People blaming pro-human rights activist who protested against genocide in Gaza for Trump's win are skapegoating! @donlemonofficial.bsky.social
Joe and Kamala leveraged our democracy against supporting the bombing. THEY had the power to change course. THEY were the ones who turned Gaza into rubble!

Has he personally actually denied what it was in plain sight? Or was that just done by his apologists?

If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

It’s even more important now that it was documented! Even it becomes hidden, make sure it lives somewhere!

Today and in the coming days, remember

I was wondering the same thing!

Ending Birthright Citizenship is a DIRECT HIT against the U.S. Constitution.
How the Supreme Court handles this will determine whether we hang on to any thread of democracy.
